We were two couples. We had a great table. We all enjoyed adult beverages, appetizers, entrees and desert. The food was delicious. Our waiter and support staff couldn’t have been better. A very upscale dining experience. A special evening out, for sure.

Jake’s is so perfect for a special night! The food was great!! Started w a very generous and tasty crab cake (we shared and it was ample!) followed by a crisp and delish Ceasar salad and hubby had the chowder (it was “okay”) and then our entrees…soooo good…I had the halibut and it was flaky and fab…hubby had the crusted ahi which he thoroughly enjoyed! Our mai tai and old fashioned cocktails were awesome as well! Our server, Mike, was attentive and helpful! We were also delighted to have a card waiting for us at the table to wish us a Happy Anniversary and they treated us to Hula pie! 😋🤩👏🏻 Well done, Jake’s Team!!

The food and the service here is above and beyond excellent. A bit pricey, as is everywhere else. Our only discomfort was the noise level - it was difficult to carry on a conversation. But this is one of our favorite go-to places and so will return - and highly recommend it!
